Nothing the acpi-lpss handler provides appears to be necessary for this device (though admittedly the PM stuff hasn't been explored much). > Just trying to understand why we would want to change the behaviour. Apologies for the lack of context. This is related to the work on the SPI keyboard and touchpad driver for MacBook(Pro)'s (https://github.com/cb22/macbook12-spi-driver/) (and as such is tangentally related to the recent apple SPI properties work by Lukas Wunner that just got accepted). We obviously need the spi master device in order to set up the keyboard/touchpad SPI slave device. Btw., in case it matters, this SPI controller shows up in lscpi as 00:15.4 Serial bus controller [0c80]: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP Serial IO GSPI Controller #1 [8086:9ce6] (rev 03) Hope this helps.
